A couple hours later he came back and I had defrosted and reheated some stew that I'd frozen a few weeks earlier. He declared it was "old" stew.<br /><br />Funny, but he ate that <i>old</i> stew and went back for seconds!Pam Hillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00488684123611320280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-68108464452364021542017-04-18T14:36:09.701-04:002017-04-18T14:36:09.701-04:00I wondered that myself about the restaurant.

Funny how us modern day citizens shudder at such at such as thought, but it was a survival and no easy way to keep food except over the warm fire. I've known some large families that will save all leftover vegtables and throw them in a pot with broth and whatever meat to not waste any food.

I remember my dad telling me that when he was young, he had supper at his girlfriend's house. They had fried chicken, and the mom told Dad to put his chicken bones on the platter when he was done. She used them to make soup the next day.

However, I would think after a while the flavor would get kinda, well, unpalatable. Talk about mystery meat! lol!J. M.

Who knew? I guess we shouldn't be so fastidious, but we've been warned about meat spoiling, and I've even seen peas ferment on the table during a wake so I have a healthy (pun intended) respect for making sure my food isn't spoiled.Pam Hillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604636348596615139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-319165091814606292017-04-16T06:22:03.492-04:002017-04-16T06:22:03.492-04:00Wow!

I do know a farm family whose mom had a stew pot bubbling away on the back burner of the woodstove for as long as the wood cookstove was in use, usually three or four months in the winter.Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
